A STARTLING THEORY. THE SINKING OF THE VICTORIA DUE TO A CONSPIRACY. Irish Revolutionists Claim the Honor of Having Sent the British Battle Ship to the Bottom of the Sea. NEW YORK, July 23.-A new and startling theory is advanced as to the cause of the sinking of the British battleship Victoria by the Camperdown. Irish revolutionists claim the sinking was the result, not of accident, but a deep laid plot, which has for its object the destruction, if possible, of the British navy and the infliction of dire injury on England in every quarter of the globe. A circular signed "The Executive," a copy of which a morning paper succeeded in obtaining, and which has been promulgated in Irish Nationalist circles, claims for the revolutioniete the honor of striking a heavy blow to England. Referring to Admiral Tryon's maneuver, the circular, which bears date July 10, says: "Admiral Tryon is not guilty of the loss of the Victoria. He is a victim of the sins of his country. The maneuver which he proposed the fleet should perform would have been successfully carried out had our brave brothers in England's service not been equal to the opportunity and given themselves a willing sacrifice for the cause of Ireland. "We have eworn brothers now on almost every English warship. We have them in English regiments, at home and abroad, and wherever the English flag our floate there also may men be found. We are now in a position which we never before attained of striking England in every corner of the globe. Forward, brothers; the fight must go on unceasingly; no opportunity must be lost of striking England, nor must we hesitate to use against her whatever science and inventive genius may place in our hands." New Hampshire Trust Company Closed. MANCHESTER, N. H., July 23.-Late Saturday evening Bank Commissioner Lyford served papers closing the doors of the New Hampshire Trust company of this city, after a full consultation with the officers of the institution, and for the protection of its depositors and creditors.

WINDING UP AFFAIRS. Assignee of New Hampshire Trust Co. Wants to Make Final Settlement. Manchester, N. H., Jan. 30.-Arthur S. Bunton, assignee of the New Hampshire Trust Co. of this city, Minneapolis and Fargo, N. D., which failed for several million dollars in 1893, the year of the last financial panic, is endeavoring to finally wind up the affairs of the corporation. The superior court has been petitioned to order a final dividend paid to bondholders. When trustees were appointed in 1894 to look after the interests of the bondholders there were $4,261,425 in bonds outstanding. Ninety-nine per cent. of that amount has since been paid to the 2400 bondholders and there is now in the hands of the surviving trustees $222,800. Chief Justice Wallace will fix the final dividend in a few days. The accounts of the bond department of the company were separate from those of the depositors, who lost heavily by the failure.
Bank runs are almost always and everywhere a deterioration of bank fundamentals.
But not for you.
You are the measure-zero exception: great fundamentals, solid bank, and yet the Diamond Dybvig fairy spread its rumor. Depositors woke up. Your collateral was not prepositioned. The Clearinghouse had it for you.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
